In this book Jungian psychoanalyst Robert Moore - who with Robert Bly is a cofounder of the men's movement - joins mythologist Douglas Gillette in an exploration of the inner Lover, one of the four foundational archetypes within the male psyche. Many men don't know how to enjoy their amorous urges without feeling overwhelmed or emasculated. But there are means by which a man can channel his libidinal energies without becoming possessed by them. The Lover Within is written in response to the needs and concerns of contemporary men, as identified by Robert Moore in workshops and private practice. It is the culmination of decades of theoretical and private research into the male psyche.
